Counselor Supervisees' Experiences of Supervision When Working with Clients Diagnosed with an Eating Disorder
LaSelle, Nicole M.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Kent State University
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to reveal the supervisory experiences of counselor supervisees when working with clients diagnosed with eating disorders. Research questions were: "What are the reported supervisory experiences of counselor supervisees who work with clients diagnosed with eating disorders?" and "What meanings do counselor supervisees make of their supervisory experiences when working with clients diagnosed with eating disorders?" The research questions guided the interview process with five female counselor supervisees who worked with clients diagnosed with eating disorders. The data were analyzed according to Moustakas' transcendental methodological approach (1994) that incorporated data analysis modified by Stevick (1971), Colaizzi (1973), and Keen (1975). The textural descriptive themes included: (a) time in supervision, (b) educational discussions about working with clients diagnosed with eating disorders, (c) modeling by the supervisor, and (d) individual and group supervision. The structural descriptive themes were: (a) competencies as a counselor, (b) population of clients diagnosed with eating disorders, (c) resources offered at specialized eating disorder treatment centers, (d) behaviors, feelings, and thoughts in response to clients diagnosed with eating disorders, and (e) supervisory relationships. These textural descriptive themes and structural descriptive themes emerged after analyzing the transcripts and contributed to an initial and general understanding of the phenomenon. In that regard, the descriptive themes provided a foundation for the individual and composite textural and structural descriptions, and textural-structural synthesis. The textural structural synthesis detailed what was experienced in supervision, and the meaning and underlying factors of the supervisory experiences across all participants.
